Chapter 114: Two Tongue Arguments
"Is Lu Zhonglang forcing the lord to oppose the Jiangdong family?"
In the face of Lu Su's words of punishment, Zhang Zhao suddenly changed his previous attitude and began to show a cautious expression, as if he had just begun to face Lu Su's appearance, and also replied to Lu Su with words of punishment.
Seeing this, Lu Su also replied cautiously: "It's not that I forced the lord to oppose the family, but the family has already stood on the opposite side of the lord, even on the opposite side of the princes, and even on the opposite side of the world, does Mr. Zibu still want me to explain why the Yellow Turban Rebellion started?" β
Lu Su and Yuan Yao often discussed the problems they are facing today, which has to talk about the family and agriculture, so Lu Su probably knew Yuan Yao's thoughts, and was also influenced by some information about Yuan Yao's later life.
"Now that the greed of the family has no bottom line, the endless annexation of land, the endless exploitation of the common people, and the treatment of land, population and food as meat, where is the lord of the family? Where is the leader? Where was he born? β
Zhang Zhao sneered: "Lu Zhonglang's ambition is not small, don't you know that if you want to change the world, you need to calm the world first?" β
"Hehe," Lu Su said with a smile, "The disaster of the Jiangdong family is still better than that of the Central Plains, and how to compete with the Central Plains heroes without making changes is at most relying on the dog's ears of the Yangtze River." β
Zhang Zhao frowned and said: "Lu Zhonglang is too eager, now changing is tantamount to offending the Jiangdong family, so pacifying Jiangdong will inevitably encounter greater resistance, if you can't pacify Jiangdong, how can you talk about changing the world?" β
Lu Su argued: "Now that my main army is in Danyang, no matter what I do, I will only face the pressure of one county, if we wait for Jiangdong to be pacified, we will face the family of four counties, and then it will be several times more difficult to make the change?"
As for what is the difficulty of pacifying Jiangdong, Xu Gong of Wu County, Wang Lang of Huiji have done nothing, the Yan brothers are just thieves, and Yuzhang is even more chaotic, who can stop me from conquering the eastern army? I feel that this is the right time for change. β
Zhang Hong on the side interjected: "Lu Zhonglang only has Jiangdong in his eyes? If the lord spreads the reputation of the family, and then talks about pacifying the world, wouldn't it be difficult? β
In the face of the bombardment of the two sheets, Lu Su said calmly: "The lord is the son-in-law of the Yuan family, the fourth and third princes of the Yuan family, and the protΓ©gΓ©s are all over the world.
Therefore, in the face of the family problem, there is no need for the lord to be cautious like others, and Mr. Zigang still doesn't have to listen to the alarmist. β
"Humph!" Zhang Zhao replied, "It seems that Lu Zhonglang is planning to learn the Shang Martingale Method?" β
Lu Su bowed to the heavens to show respect for the sages, and then said to Zhang Zhao: "I just want to persuade the Jiangdong family to understand current affairs, but it is not comparable to the achievements of the sages." β
Zhang Hong continued: "Why should Lu Zhonglang be humble, Shang Ying's reform also started with the "Grass Reclamation Order", and Your Excellency's 'grain line' has the same effect.
It's just that I don't know if Lu Zhonglang still remembers what happened to Shang Ying? β
"The car cracked and died." Lu Su replied.
Zhang Hong stroked his beard and said: "In this way, does Lu Zhonglang want to follow in the footsteps of Shangjun?" β
"Hahaha," Lu Su laughed, "If you can get off all day long, what if the car cracks!" β
ββ¦β¦β
Lu Su suddenly leaked arrogantly, and the two were shocked and speechless for a while.
Yuan Yao was also surprised by Lu Su's spirit, and he was in high spirits, and he couldn't help but feel glad to have such a subordinate......
"Ahem......"
Yuan Yao relieved himself first, and after reminding him, he turned his head to Er Zhang and said: "The affairs of the family are very important, not in a word, don't worry, the two gentlemen have worked hard all the way, let's rest for the time being." β
"No."
Hearing this, Erzhang bowed, and then got up and walked out of the door, but before he could reach the door, Zhang Hong turned around and came to Lu Su again, and said with a straight salute: "Lu Zhonglang has a generous mind to righteousness, and I admire it." However, our dispute is nothing more than 'calm down first' or 'change first'; first easy before difficult, or first difficult before easy.
However, I still think that it is easy to 'calm down first' and 'change first', and I ask Lu Zhonglang to think twice. β
Lu Su returned the salute and said: "Mr. is polite, remember below." β
Zhang Hong nodded, and after saluting Yuan Yao, he went out with Zhang Zhao, and then only Yuan Yao and Lu Su were left in the hall......
"Why did Zijing take the matter of grain on his head?" Yuan Yao asked first.
Lu Su pondered for a moment when he heard this, and then said with emotion: "When the lord recruited his subordinates, he once compared his subordinates to Guan Zhong, and Su was secretly proud at that time, but now he knows that he is stupid.
Although the subordinates of the grain line had doubts before, they did not think through it until the rebellion of the concubine suddenly realized the seriousness of the matter, but the subordinates also found an opportunity to settle it once and for all.
The lord often discussed current affairs with his subordinates, and his subordinates also deeply agreed with the method of coordination between grain and agricultural reform, which was a good policy in Jiangdong, which is vast and sparsely populated.
However, this law is like a change of law, and it will inevitably offend the 'vested interests' as the lord said, so the name of the person who changes the law must not be placed on the lord's head, otherwise the lord will be framed by the public.
His subordinates are incompetent and can't be the middle of the house, but he is willing to be the business of the lord, even if he risks the disapproval of the world, he can also leave some money for the lord to recover. β
ββ¦β¦β
Yuan Yao completely understood Lu Su's thoughts, and he was willing to be a shield to block all the side effects of reform for Yuan Yao.
You must know that since the beginning of the Shang Dynasty, the people who have changed the law in the past generations have not died well.
Because changing the law is all about snatching resources from those with vested interests, and those with vested interests are the most powerful people at that time, so changing the law is the most offending life, as long as the reformers lose power, they will be violently retaliated, and even have been equated with a bad death.
And Yuan Yao was bent on reform before, but he forgot that the side effects of reform need to be borne by someone, if it is borne by himself, then even if he succeeds, he will get the name of a "tyrant" because he offends people, and his luck is like the Qin Dynasty and he died, and after swallowing the side effects of reform, he left the legacy to the Han Dynasty;
If you are unlucky, you will be betrayed and hacked to death by your courtiers like Emperor Yang of Sui, and finally end up with a dead body and a country destroyed, and you will also swallow the bitter fruit yourself, leaving the benefits of reform to the next dynasty, that is, the Tang Dynasty.
Everyone said that the Han and Tang dynasties were prosperous, but they didn't know which round they would have enjoyed if there were no "tyrants" of the Qin and Sui dynasties as reformers to make their wedding dresses.
Perhaps because he was dazzled by the benefits of the reforms of later generations, Yuan Yao was thinking about how to change before, and he couldn't help but pursue the signs of Qin Shihuang and Emperor Yang of Sui without knowing it, and now he was reminded by Lu Su to be shocked into a cold sweat.
And Lu Su knew what the consequences of the law changer were, but he still planned to stand up for Yuan Yao without hesitation, which made Yuan Yao, who had previously complained a little about Lu Su's overstepping of his authority, why was it embarrassing......
